In honor of Dr. Hanson assisting with USA Racquetball championships our condition of the week is lateral epicondylitis AKA tennis elbow. This is pain on the thumb side of your elbow that can radiate down to your hand and hurts normally when you are using your hands. This is a type of of tendinitis that is commonly caused by gripping your fingers, think gripping a hammer or a racquet and does not just cause pain in tennis players! It is also common in computer based professionals, gamers, weight lifters, and aerial fitness.
Fortunately, although it can be scary to have pain when you use your hands, this is a condition that normally can be managed quite easily within 2 months. At home you can ice the tissue and rest the arm. Clinically, we can help by assisting you with strapping options, including athletic and kinesiology taping, we can also help mobilizing the joints around the tissue to improve range of motion, or stretching the inflamed tissues and giving you exercises that help strengthen the surrounding muscles to decrease stress on the epicondyle!

Today, Dr. Hanson will be working for US Racquetball at their championships providing medical support. Don't worry though! The championships are right over the highway at the U of M so she will still be able to treat you all day! "Working with the US teams is an amazing opportunity but first and foremost I care about my community." We love Northeast and the Minnesota locals! Feel free to check in or call from 8-3 today!
